Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Keratoacanthoma is a common, rapidly growing skin tumor.
  • Multinodular keratoacanthoma is a distinct clinical variant.

Observation:

  • Characterized by multiple nodules at the tumor periphery.
  • Exhibits progressive expansion and central scar formation.

Findings:

  • This variant does not resolve spontaneously.
